Philosophy of Integration Common Core is weighted for more non-fiction, inquiry, and project-based instruction and assessment in grades K-5.

An integrated curriculum is the most effective and efficient way to ensure our students are receiving the rigorous curriculum which is aligned with common core

Sample Schedules• Based on DESE Minutes (K-3)/(4-5)• Took into account a variety of special schedules• Tried to account for additional activities, such as orchestra classes• Made based on late start time, please adjust accordingly• Thought given to how departmentalization might work with an

integrated curriculum
